First thoughts. It doesn't even describe a 'great circle' over the surface (since it doesn't bifurcate the globe)
…therefore it would not be describing the shortest route between any two points on the path (including the 'ends' that we can see.
…therefore, it would need to make a somewhat 'bow' shaped path, all in order to appear perfectly straight from only the exact perspective shown in the pic…
It's probably a fake meant to distract, of for lulz.
